Warm-water species became more common than cool-water species in many locations. Increases in relative abundance tended to occur in northern range boundaries or non-native ranges, and declines tended to occur at southern range boundaries. Although catch log data can be biased and results may reflect alternative phenomena operating or interacting at similarly large spatial scales (e.g., cultural eutrophication, changes in game fish popularity), climate change remains a viable explanation. Future research should further explore app data as a potential tool for monitoring game fish responses to climate change and other stressors over longer time frames and at multiple spatial scales.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50444,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Management and Ecology","volume":"32 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143950156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Monitoring has traditionally centred around measuring fishing effort and catch. However, contemporary measures, such as fisher demographics and behaviours, which may be linked to social and economic objectives, are now recognised as necessary to meet expectations that all aspects of resource use are considered for fisheries management. The challenge for recreational fisheries is how to regularly provide information across a growing diversity of metrics, and at a scale relevant to specific fisheries, with limited resources. The Blue Swimmer Crab (<i>Portunus armatus</i>) is one of the most commonly recreationally harvested species in Western Australia. This species served as a case study to explore if data from five broad-scale phone-diary surveys between 2011–2012 and 2020–2021 could be adapted to meet expanded information needs. Twelve discrete fisheries represented small spatial-scale areas for fisheries management, with some variation in management arrangements (i.e., bag limits). Robust estimates of traditional and contemporary measures could be produced for three fisheries: Peel-Harvey Estuary, Swan-Canning Estuary and Geographe Bay. Traditional measures of participation, fishing effort, total catch and harvest from 2011–2012 to 2020–2021 were generally consistent for Swan-Canning Estuary but decreased for Peel-Harvey Estuary and Geographe Bay. The proportion of harvest from recreational and commercial fishing varied from mixed use (Swan-Canning Estuary, Peel-Harvey Estuary) to recreational only (Geographe Bay). Variation in contemporary measures was also evident, with recreational fishing largely undertaken by local residents in Swan-Canning Estuary, while participation was more uniform between local and non-local residents in Peel-Harvey Estuary and Geographe Bay. We found that broad-scale surveys could be successfully adapted to meet the growing need for information on contemporary measures to support a holistic approach to sustainable fisheries management for small spatial-scale recreational fisheries.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50444,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Management and Ecology","volume":"32 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143950334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pike were 2–4 times more abundant inside pMPAs than outside in sites open to fishing. The mean size of pike was not greater in pMPAs, but protected sites hosted more exceptionally large fish than sites open to fishing. Pike in sites with reduced recreational fishing effort were more aggressive to artificial lures. About one-third of the catch rate differences among pMPAs and open sites could be attributed to lure shyness.

The approach consisted of gathering local knowledge, observing participants, reviewing literature, and interviewing key representatives of the flats fishing community, resource managers (governmental and co-managers), academia and non-governmental organizations, followed by online surveys, to rank overall findings and prioritize concerns identified by a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis. Our findings indicated that science, education, conservation, and management were important. The strategic framework included goals, objectives, strategies, and outcomes that will depend on validation and collaboration amongst sectors to generate information and application to fisheries and protected areas (PAs) management to benefit local communities, national economies, and preservation of biodiversity. Prioritized needs included: (1) science to address habitat loss and degradation, overharvest, habitat use conflict resolution, fishing pressure, and protection of key habitats for all life cycles of target species; (2) education and awareness to increase knowledge, address fish handling practices, and guide conservation and management decision-making; (3) inclusion of the flats fishery in conservation plans, PAs, development, and economic plans; and (4) improved enforcement of regulations to ensure sustainability.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50444,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Management and Ecology","volume":"32 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143949734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Portuguese green crab (<i>Carcinus maenas</i>) fishery was assessed using a socio-economic assessment to understand the importance of the fishery and a stock assessment analysis to determine the exploitation status of the fishery during 1960–2020. Fisher knowledge revealed that crab fishing was a family affair that provided a livelihood for hundreds of families directly targeting crabs, with catches exported to Spain during 1960–1990s, and in later years, crab demand increased as bait for octopus fishing. Despite its socio-economic importance, the fishery was regulated without a scientific basis and economic value of crabs remained similar through time. Annual landings never exceeded sustainable catch rates, but engagement in the crab fishery declined due to low economic value of crabs compared to other fisheries and regulatory hurdles. Consequently, the number of fishermen declined to 20–30 elderly men fishing on the largest estuaries, with the fishery currently on the verge of extinction. Fishers pointed to a reduction in the minimum landing size and enforcement of crab-specific trap regulations as ways to avert fishery decline. Such changes would stimulate recruitment of new crab fishers, while reducing fishing pressure on other estuarine resources through fisheries diversification.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":50444,"journal":{"name":"Fisheries Management and Ecology","volume":"32 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In commercial fisheries, using circle hooks over traditional “J” hooks and using specific bait types can reduce sea turtle bycatch and fishing gear interactions. However, angler willingness to use these techniques is unknown. Our study aimed to assess the willingness of recreational anglers to adopt tackle modifications to support sea turtle conservation. A mixed-mode survey was used to gather data on angler knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes toward sea turtle conservation. Generalized linear models were used to examine factors associated with angler willingness to adopt sea turtle-friendly practices.

Smallmouth Bass were caught by angling in water temperatures of 22.7°C–26.2°C using ultralight or medium spinning gear. Fight times were longer for fish captured on ultralight gear than medium gear, and fight times were longer for larger fish. Generally, fight times &gt; 18 s resulted in one or more immediate reflex impairments, while fish with fight times &lt; 18 s had no immediate reflex impairments. Post-release swimming activity was only influenced by gear type used. Upon release, Smallmouth Bass captured using ultralight gear spent more time sustained swimming than those caught using medium gear type that spent more time resting. Given that fight times were longer for Smallmouth Bass captured using ultralight gear, they were conceivably more exhausted. This increased post-release swimming activity indicates that fish may need to engage in sustained swimming to facilitate physiological recovery.
